Title: Correction Detail - Skoda Octavia vRS finished in Zymol Glasur
Post by: RussZS on March 26, 2012, 01:19:22 am
This Octavia is owned by the wife of the owner of the Amarok I detailed last weekend and was booked in for a full weekend for a full correction detail as the paint was in a rather bad way, going pink in places and covered in swirl marks and scratches.

Unfortunately I somehow managed to take the first few pics without a memory card in, so apologies for the lack of pics for the start of the process.

The process was:

- Wheels, Arches and Tyres with EZ Detail Brush, Valet Pro Wheel Brushes, Auto Smart Smart Wheels and Britemax Grime Out
- Next the car was foamed with Megs Hyper Wash and intricate areas cleansed with Grime Out and VP brushes

- Car Rinsed then washed with Britemax Clean Max Shampoo
- The car was then rinsed again

IronX was used next to safely melt fallout and brake dust from the wheels and paintwork.  This was left to dwell for 3-5 minutes then rinsed off with the Kranzle K7:

Tar on the paintwork was address next using a dedicated tar remover to safely remove it - Auto Smart Tardis:

Next the car was rinsed again then moved inside out of the ever warming Sun to begin the claying process:

IronX and Tardis do their jobs very well - not much left for the clay to remove.

Next I began to assess the paintwork.  It was evident very quickly that the bonnet was littered with stone chips which had been poorly repaired. 

Some of these stone chips had been subject to a very poor attempt at wet sanding:

This particular one had resulted in the clearcoat being penetrated:

Otherwise the car was just generally swirly:

The paint was VERY hard on this car - similar to another red Octavia I'd done in the past which was the same colour.  Given that I knew I had it for a couple of days I decided on a 2 stage machine polish - 1 intensive stage to remove as many of the deeper defects as safely as possible, then refine the cutting stage to leave the crispest finish possible within the time allowed.

After playing with a number of combinations, I was getting best results from a mixture of Megs D300 and Cutting Disc via DA and/or Scholl S3 Gold via Spider Sandwich Pad.  The MF system was allowing me to finish down slightly better but I find it never leaves the same crisp finish a rotary does so would require further refining to achieve the desired results:

Most of the car had clearcoat present, with the exception of the rear spoiler and wing mirrors bizarrely.

My mate popped by for a quick hand getting his car to look its best and grab a few pics, so some Z8 later, we have a very nice Bora!

I was also tasked with removing the stickers from the boot:

The Sun was shining directly on my bonnet at this stage, so I took the opportunity to grab a quick pic!

After the cutting stage, the finished was refined via Rotary using Megs 205 and a 3M Polishing Pad.  The finish was then wiped down with CarPro Eraser to ensure the finish I see reflects its true condition and no filling is masking any defects.

Now the LSP stage was done a bit differently on this car.  I decided to use Zymol Glasur as I firmly believe a decent nuba wax gives the best results on a flat red.  In the past I have suffered with gassing from Glasur, but I have found that applying, removing the leaving in the sun for a period helps this process along, so that the gassing can be removed ahead of collection by the customer:

This next set of pics is after one layer of Glasur, but nothing else has been finished yet (wheels, tyres, plastics, glass, exhaust etc)

Not bad for 10yo car!!  Aside from the defects in the bonnet, it's near perfect now!!

The Amarok turned up a bit later to collect the Skoda...
